Hi there

Yes you would use our Tax API to add Tax to a PaymentIntent. See: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/custom

[fluid wagon]

but if i already know what the tax % is going to be is it still the only way possible?

[west cosmos]

Yes, in that case you should just calculate this on your side. Stripe tax rates aren't compatible with PaymentIntents

[fluid wagon]

ok and when i want to create a separate charges and transfers, the example shown are intents. Could i use Invoices intead since I can add taxes directly and not on the price?

[west cosmos]

Yep you can

[fluid wagon]

ok so i can create an invoice to receive the payment and then transfert a portion of that amount to a connected account?

there doesnt seem to be a transfer_group value like payment_intent

[west cosmos]

Yep

You can update the transfer_group on the underlying PaymentIntent if you want

But really transfer_group has no actual effect.

It just is helpful for tracking

[fluid wagon]

ah ok so when i create an invoice, i can next update the created payent_intent related to have a value on the transfer_group so i can later transfer money to another account using that payment intent. Correct?

[west cosmos]

Overall yes. But transfer_group isn't required at all to be able to transfer

So you don't have to do that

But you certainly can

[fluid wagon]

oh, in the documentation it keeps mentioning that i have to do it

[west cosmos]

It is recommended, but not required.

[fluid wagon]

Basically, i want a customer to pay a bill to rent a house to the plateform. When the rented period is over, the plateform will pay the owner connected with stripe connect

[west cosmos]

Yep that should work fine

[fluid wagon]

is there a way to "program" the transfer with a date or i have to manually create it the day it has to be payed?

the only timestamp i see is the the creation date

[west cosmos]

Nope can't schedule transfers for the future

You would need to handle this on your side

Using like a cron job or something

[fluid wagon]

yeah it's what i had in mind

ok so to pay the connected account, i do a transfer with his account as the destination value and transfer group is mostly for "linking" purpose

[west cosmos]

Yep

You should be able to test this all out pretty easily!

[fluid wagon]

yeah

basically i was doing a direct charge last week but my client changed the way he wanted it

so need to make the modifications but wanted to see if i needed to do the whole thing or not

[west cosmos]

As long as the Connected Accounts are in the same country/region then what you described above should work well

[fluid wagon]

indeed it will be for canada only

also, when i create an invoice, i added a finalizeInvoice but it still takes an hour before it is completed. Is there a way for a invoice to be completed immediatly?

i was able to create an automatic payment with an intent but seems harder with an invoice

[light pendant]

You can immediately make a Pay Invoice call: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay

The hour window is there intentionally to give everyone the ability to edit the invoice after it is created

[fluid wagon]

ohhh

last time i asked the person mentionned that it was working as intended haha, i'll take a look

so i was missing step 3 of the invoice then 🤭

so basically, i create my invoice with auto_advance = true, finalize with auto_advance = true and then i pay invoice. Correct?

[light pendant]

That should work I would imagine. What happens when you test it?

[fluid wagon]

it works fine. I had tested pay invoice before but it was with connect. I wonder if trying it with with a diffrent account made the difference
